@josh but yeah Per Se and 11 Madison Park are on my bucket lists. Hit Han Dynasty while you’re there if you’re into Chinese food.

2025-05-07

@josh nice! If you can’t get them lots of other amazing places to eat there.

@greg @webology I just hydrate a lot.

2025-05-07

@greg try adding some carrots, parsnips and turnips next time.

2025-05-07

@greg I just roast this on a sheet pan or wire rack tray. If you’re worried about some smoke in your kitchen, set it on a bed of root veggies. You get schmaltz covered roast veggies then

@webology @greg yup whole new cooking unlock when I found it.

2025-05-07

@greg oh and obviously let it come up to room temp before roasting.

2025-05-07

@greg it’s the best easiest thing in the world! Take a whole chicken, dry it outside and in with paper towels a lot. You want it dry AF. Coat the outside and inside with kosher salt like 1-2 tablespoons worth.

Set it uncovered in the open air in your fridge for at least a day preferably two. Roast it at 450 for I dunno 20-30 minutes and then drop the temp down to 375-400 until it’s done. Juiciest most amazing chicken you’ll ever eat.

Pro-Tip: Your headless Kubernetes service needs to exist BEFORE you bring up the StatefulSet or the pods aren't associated to the service... ever... That one took me awhile to figure out!

@mpirnat @jonafato congrats to you both as well!

@jascha awww I remember this Internet and I miss it. Had an older BBS friend fly across the country for a visit. Was awesome and meant the world to the couple of us he knew in my town.

People keep telling me that AI is bullshit and there is no gold, and yet I used it to make a sign including multiple changes today. It nailed it.

If you are in the Lawrence, KS / KC area and want to see our new office and celebrate the 18th anniversary, here are the details:

revsys.com/tidbits/revsys-anni

(even if we haven't met in person, feel free to drop by)

A sign I made that reads:
REVSYS
open house
3PM TO 7PM
to celebate our 18 year in business

Today marks 18 years of doing REVSYS full time! revsys.com/tidbits/18-years-of It has been a great run, but I wouldn't recommend opening a business right before a big recession if I had to do it again!

@julienphalip agreed! I was pouring thinking about my day, looked down, saw 420.6 and laughed.

I swear I’m a freaking child.
